self-critique

October 18, 2000 by krisis

My life is a set of neverendingly opened parentheses. For example, i’m currently reading articles on Shafted rather than blogging. However, blogging would only be an excuse not to work on my website. However, one might note that, in general, working on my website is a way for me to avoid actually creating new content for my website. And, typically creating new content for my website is a way for me to avoid doing something else that i should do, like working on new songs. But, really, new songs are just an excuse for avoiding actual social interaction, which i shun whenever possible. Especially dating; i’ll have none of that. Of course, even i were writing songs, i ought to be practicing instead. However, i only ever practice what i want to practice on guitar, not anything that will actually help me to better my playing. Anyhow, even if i was bettering my playing, my guitar is simply an excuse not to do schoolwork. So, really i should be doing schoolwork. However, none of the classes i have right now really pertain to my major, so really i should be in 18 credits worth of different classes. Even if i was in other classes, i’d still be a Journalism major, which is really a bit of a cop-out, considering my skills in other more quantative subjects. Or, at least i should be in a more rigourous curriculum of Journalism, but instead i’m at Drexel. I’m at Drexel because i dragged my feet too much when i was supposed to be looking at various Liberal Arts schools. I was only looking at those schools because i hadn’t decided on a major, and also because i had stopped truly applying myself in school years earlier. And, why had i stopped applying myself? Mostly because i was too busy on the internet and playing guitar.

There, does that make you feel any better about yourself?

Me, looking deceptively adorable
all the beautiful hair is gone, and my nose is actually much bigger than that if you’re not looking at it head on. oh yeah, and i’m not that cute. otherwise, that’s an accurate representation of me.

No more cheddar ramen, ever. I’ve been doing some pretty shitty sounding trios, and it’s starting to bother me. It makes me seem like some self-important un-talented fuck who is pretentious enough to think that people care to listen to him sing out of key. But i’m not, really. It’s just that without a dorm full of friends to play a few songs for every week i am rapidly leaving my guitar on the sidelines, and this allows me to do a little performance. Furthermore, i can’t play the same song all the time, because it would get boring, so it’s incentive for me to keep working on new songs that i would typically ditch in favour of another repetition of “Crashing.” And, finally, keep in mind that i’m just recording through the teeny mic in my computer, and that i’m doing a live take with no stops or pickups. You might point out that doing a concert is at least that hard, but for me playing in front of people is the most comforting thing in the world. Being alone in this room with the computer… now that’s intimidating.

Writing songs is getting a bit iffy… i either jump into an alternate tuning and use typical bass notes, or just wing it into a typical C-G-D, Em-C, or D-A-Bm-G progression in some other key. I can’t even remember how to write a good song… i suppose it just comes to you…

Blogger is being very screwy again. And, you might think i’m a horrible musical artist from the last month of bloggers, but i promise that’s only partially true. I just began all this in the midst of a bad streak of playing, and now we’ve got to all tough it out. However, some bits tonight (especially in the first two) show that i’m nearing a point of being ready to play some of these songs again. I guess we’ll have to see what happpens…
